I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 469 A wife is a treasure, a wife is the best, you can't live without a wife.

Liao Haomiao bought train tickets for the afternoon of the next day. He packed their things at home, planning to mail them to Huzhou after they found a place to stay.

He arrived at the high-speed rail station alone with his luggage, and boarded the high-speed train to Huzhou in the afternoon. He also told Zhu Tao that he had set off.

However, Zhu Tao seemed very busy today. Liao Haomiao looked at his chat history with Zhu Tao and saw that she had only said "Good morning" in the morning before going to work.

Then I told him I'd had lunch, we chatted for a bit, and then I heard nothing more.

Liao Haomiao could understand this, after all, it was Zhu Tao's first day at work, and it was normal that she didn't have time to look at her phone, or perhaps her job didn't allow her to look at her phone.

By the time Liao Haomiao arrived in Huzhou, it was already past 5 PM. He walked out of the high-speed rail station and saw a short message from Zhu Tao:

"[There's still an hour and a half until we get off work.]"

"OK..."

Liao Haomiao replied with a message, then put his phone away. He had the hotel location sent to him by Zhu Tao, and he planned to go to the hotel first and wait for Zhu Tao to get off work.

Hey buddy, wanna take a taxi? Where to?

Hearing a call, Liao Haomiao assumed it was a taxi driver, so he lowered his head, waved, and walked on without even looking.

It took me a few steps to realize that this person's voice sounded familiar...

When Liao Haomiao looked up at the source of the sound, he was momentarily stunned.

He saw that the person standing there was none other than his good brother, Zhou Heng.

"Holy crap... what are you doing here! Aren't you supposed to be busy at work?!"

Liao Haomiao immediately smiled, grabbed his luggage, and strode over. He couldn't help but swear, because he was so happy to see his good brother whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

They even spoke on the phone last night, and Zhou Heng said he had been very busy lately, but he didn't expect that Zhou Heng would actually come to Huzhou to pick him up today!

"I've been really busy these past few days, but I need to rest too. If I keep working without resting, my wife will get upset."

Zhou Heng patted Liao Haomiao on the shoulder and said to him with a smile.

"Wow, you're showing off your love to me as soon as we meet. You're just like before, always saying that your wife is your treasure, your wife is the best, and you can't live without her."

"Hahaha...you really know me." Zhou Heng laughed loudly, not denying Liao Haomiao's words.

Afterwards, Liao Haomiao put the luggage in Zhou Heng's car and sat in the passenger seat.

After getting in the car, fastening my seatbelt, and glancing at the interior, I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"Wow...this car is really nice, how much did it cost?"

"Ah... a few dozen... a few dozen, I guess."

Zhou Heng stammered in response, telling Liao Haomiao that the car cost around several hundred thousand yuan. He didn't have high requirements for the car itself, as long as it could be driven, it didn't need to be too expensive.

However, his status is different now, so driving a cheap car wouldn't be appropriate. When he goes out, he needs a car that matches his status to make things easier.

"Tsk tsk, sigh, I really envy you. You're so successful now, your life must be so happy, without so many worries..."

Liao Haomiao leaned back in his comfortable chair and couldn't help but sigh, looking quite melancholy...

Zhou Heng glanced at Liao Haomiao and said indifferently, "There are troubles too, but they're definitely not as troublesome as yours."

He knew how hard Liao Haomiao and the others were going through. Although he also had a lot of troubles, he had never worried about money. In that respect, he was definitely happier than Liao Haomiao.

"I don't know if I can find a job here... You work at Junheng, right? I definitely can't get in. I'll see which company wants me in a few days..."

Liao Haomiao looked out the car window. Although he was sitting in a nice car, he was living a completely different life from Zhou Heng...

Back in school, he was probably the most respected student, and he was still better than Zhou Heng, because academic rankings were the primary indicator of who was better.

But once he left school, he realized that he was no match for Zhou Heng in any way. He finally accepted the reality that he was just an ordinary person...

So what if someone is number one? Anyone has a chance to be number one. Yin Mengran could, and so could Tang Zhi. In that high school, every exam produces a number one student.

But how many people are like Zhou Heng?

Liao Haomiao sat up, looked at Zhou Heng who was driving, and cautiously began to speak:

"Um...brother..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhou Heng glanced at him, wondering what he was going to say.

Liao Haomiao hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, his voice tinged with uncertainty:

"Brother... let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not... becoming a snob just because you have money now... I'm just... having a really tough time lately. When I called last night, I briefly explained my situation. I quit my job and came to Huzhou to be with Zhu Tao, but we don't have much money to live on... we still need to rent a place... it'll cost a lot, and I don't even know if I can find a job..."

Liao Haomiao talked a lot, but he never got to the point. He seemed to be afraid of something, and he kept glancing at Zhou Heng's face while he was talking, to see if there was any change in his expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng seemed to understand what Liao Haomiao wanted to say, but he still didn't speak, waiting for Liao Haomiao to say it.

"Well... could you lend me a little money later, just enough for rent? I'll pay you back once I find a job and start earning a salary. If I can't pay you back all at once, I'll pay you back slowly, but it definitely won't be too long. Is that okay?"

Zhou Heng knew that Liao Haomiao was being so cautious when speaking to him because he wanted to borrow money.

For him, this matter was already difficult to talk about. The fact that he could say these words proved that he was indeed having a very difficult time, so difficult that he couldn't solve it on his own and had to talk to himself about it.

However, this was no big deal for Zhou Heng; he could easily help Liao Haomiao.

"I understand. It's nothing, don't worry. As long as you go to Huzhou or Dongzhu, I can help you solve any difficulties you encounter. So don't worry, and don't think too much about borrowing money. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow and solve your other problem while we're at it."
